Christie's campaign announced on Tuesday it's raising money well enough that it does not need the extra cash.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, Christie raised more than $2 million.

No well-known Republicans have announced plans to challenge Christie in the primary.

State Sen. Barbara Buono is the only prominent Democrat in the race. She raised about $250,000 by Dec. 31 and does plan to seek matching funds.
